Been reading and searching, many similar problems and many solutions
but I'm running short of a complete solution.
I have a 6" well, 150' down with a 20' casing and pump at 125'.
480 GPH according to the well digger.
Been in place for 9 years and never shocked
4.8 PPm of Iron
Water overflows the cap so I drilled and tapped a 1/2" pipe on the side of the casing that runs back into the nature and that keeps my water level about 1' from the top of the casing and still overflow once or twice a year.
I read on how to recirculate back into the well with a hose before the pressure tank
but in my case since it is constantly overflowing, I have doubt on how efficient it would be
to attempt a shock. An Iron Remover with a passive aerator is installed and doing the job
but needs maintenance as valve/pipe/etc gets dirty with iron and sometime pressure degradation.
Any advice???? Thx.
